I qualified in 1979. I am a trifle tired of seeing some of my contemporaries mouthing off. Yes, my initial pay was £1/hrs for first 40 hours and the next 76 hours compulsory overtime 33p/hr. Desperately silly hours.

...but I had tuition fees paid and a grant for living expenses (my parents had to top up to advised level). We worked as a team "The Firm" , patients were in hospital long enough for us to learn much about natural history of disease & continuity of care 2/3

sensible suggestion on @BBCRadio4Today by former chair of pay review body that govt should ask it to to revisit its recommendation this year taking account of data on inflation not available at time of its original decision @Jeremy_Hunt @SteveBarclay
Saw #FascinatingAida in Newbury last night. Wonderful entertainment! fascinatingaida.co.uk i think!
So sad to see #PrinceHarry whinging on front of #DailyTelegraph today. No loyalty whatever to his family or country.
If anyone knows Dr Peter Fellows, retired GP in Gloucestershire, please can you tell him his messenger account has been hacked?
Due to the clear inability of our former American colonies to govern themselves, we should offer our services to sort them out. Let's start with Her Majesty as the apolitical head of state. It'd save all this fuss every 4 years
It's #DarwinAwards time for #GOP stalwarts in #MAGA delusional USA. Marching maskless together to #COVID19 doom. Is #CivilWar2 imminent?
Can #CQC show evidence of lives saved by their inspection of GP practices and account for the wasted #GP HOURS of preparation and appointments lost and patients thereby suffering! #continuityofcare

Here’s a #CovidVaccine idea. NHS will have to send millions of text messages to patients across UK to advise them about vital vaccine appointments. Why doesn’t @VodafoneUK @O2 @EE @threeuk donate FREE Covid SMS messaging to the NHS so we can beat Covid together. RT if you agree
Really helpful customer service from @McAfee today. A lady in the Philippines spent half an hour sorting my duplicate accounts and nothing was too much trouble for her.
So proud of my son Cllr @TimSwinyard for being a finalist in the Covid Hero category of the Councillor Awards 2020. Well done Tim
I still don't understand whether one can meet friends over a meal in a restaurant in Tier 2. How does it work?
Such a wonderful, small charity. Spends almost all donations on the support for the Ghanaian people in the area otherwise neglected. Please support
The detrimental impact of the pandemic on girls education and safety is becoming shockingly clear.
Below is a class at Bagri Junction JHS last week, where three pupils have not yet returned - all girls, still in the south of Ghana, working in dangerous situations. #DayOfTheGirl

We were delighted to hold a SNAP Lawra meeting this week - under different circumstances, but providing the same support, advice and friendship 🥰

Happy Friday 🎉
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to our Rebuild campaign so far.
With your help, we can provide support to the most vulnerable, help the people of Lawra recover from the pandemic, and enable the community to Rebuild for Better.
